ConfigReplacer (Hazelcast Root 5.4.0-SNAPSHOT API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPbeReplacer, EncryptionReplacer, PropertyReplacer
```
public interface ConfigReplacer
```
Interface to be implemented by pluggable variable replacers for the configuration files. The replacers can be configured in XML configuration files and they are used to replace custom strings during loading the configuration.
A Variable to be replaced within the configuration file has following form:
```
 "$" PREFIX "{" MASKED_VALUE "}"
 
```
where the PREFIX is the value returned by getPrefix() method and MASKED_VALUE is a value provided to the getReplacement(String) method. The result of getReplacement(String) method call replaces the whole Variable String.
